Morphological variation in the short-tailed fruit bat (Carollia) in Ecuador,with comments on the practical and philosophical aspects of boundaries among species

The mechanisms for the morphological delimitation of species in Carollia remain poorly understood. This is the first study to assess variation in size and shape from strictly geometric terms. Both factors are assessed by statistical perspectives of distribution, overlap and relative distances. Despite its overlap, the size of the skull seems to be the most influential character for the discrimination of species, with shape playing a much smaller role. The smallest species seems to be the most distinct in shape, not only in terms of distance among centroids in morphometric space, but also in the overall trend and direction of variation. Contrary to previous studies, sexual dimorphism is not given by size but by distinct shapes of the skull. Characters such as the shape of the maxilla, previously described qualitatively as discrete with sharp boundaries, appear to be truly continuous with fuzzy borders among species. Because morphometric space is a gamut of continuous variation and overlap, the taxonomic error rate for size characters seems to be substantial for the medium-sized species (Carollia brevicauda Schinz, 1821), with approximately 30–40% of individuals erroneously assigned to a different species after a jackknifed discriminant function. This taxonomic error is higher for shape characters. Morphological, systematic and ecological consequences of the observed patterns of shape and size variation are commented within the context of previously proposed arguments and hypotheses.

论期刊中繁体字、异体字的错误使用问题

简化字已推行了五十多年,但被简化了的繁体字、异体字却频频出现在各种简体版的出版物特别是学术期刊中,导致期刊用字极不规范。以随机抽取的数种期刊为例,具体分析了其中被错误使用的繁体字、异体字,并简单讨论了错误使用的原因,提出了改变这种繁简乱用的混乱状况的建议。     

甘蓝型黄籽油菜产量性状的遗传分析

利用加性-显性-母体的遗传模型,分析了7个不同遗传来源甘蓝型黄籽油菜品系所配制的完全双列杂交资料。结果表明,产量性状主要受加性和显性效应共同控制,环境对产量性状有一定的影响而母体效应影响很小。基因效应分析发现y4单株粒重有极显著的加性效应,y3×y4单株粒重有极显著的显性效应     

两种不同穗型水稻的籽粒灌浆特性分析

以直、弯两种穗型水稻各1份材料为试材,通过剪叶与疏花措施,改变灌浆进程,研究了源库关系对水稻籽粒灌浆特性的影响。结果表明,不同穗型水稻籽粒灌浆进程可用Richards进行拟合,从而可以用朱庆森等提出的有关参数对灌浆特性进行解释。剪叶降低水稻籽粒的灌浆速度和终极生长量,导致结实率低,籽粒充实度差,千粒重小而减产,而疏花(剪穗)则相反。

桑椹浆瘿蚊（ContariniamorulaeJiangnomennudum）是新发现的一种桑树害虫。在陕西关中地区年发生1代，以幼虫寄生于雌花子房内为害，5月中旬幼虫老熟后弹跳入土结茧越夏越冬。采用蛹期或幼虫入土期地面薄膜覆盖；或蛹期每公顷用40％甲基异柳磷乳油6kg或50％甲基对硫磷6.6kg拌适量干细土撒施于桑园土壤，有较好的防治效果。     

不同播期对冬小麦粒重形成及产量的影响

以4个冬小麦品种为材料,研究了不同播期条件下籽粒灌浆特征参数、粒重和产量的差异。结果表明:播期对千粒重的影响存在差异,洛旱6号、洛麦21号和豫麦49不同播期之间的籽粒千粒重存在显著差异,但播期对偃展4110的千粒重影响不大。在不同播期下,灌浆过程中平均灌浆速率、快增期灌浆速率对粒重的影响较大。播期对不同品种灌浆高峰出现的日期影响基本一致,早播期>晚播期>中播期.但较早播种时,洛旱6号、洛麦21号和豫麦49灌浆高峰出现较早,灌浆速率大,晚播时偃展4110灌浆高峰出现较早,灌浆速率大。播期对4个品种产量的影响均以中播最高,在河南旱区生态条件下,似偃展4110的春性品种适宜播期为10月中下旬,洛旱6号、洛麦21号等似豫麦49的半冬性品种适宜播期为10月中旬。

Phenotypic character gradient variation of Melia azedarach

Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) was applied on the research data of five geographical-climatic factors and 18 phenotypic characters of 729 trees of 24 populations of Melia azedarach distributed in China. The eigenvalue of the first canonical variable is 0.997 9 (significant at 0.01 level), accounting for 78% of all eigenvalues. A study on the principal component analysis (PCA) was done, taking the first canonical variable coordinate values as the phenotypic character gradient axes (PCGA). The isogram of the PCGA was drawn out with 0.2 contours, which showed a geographical model with a northeast-southwest variation trend of the phenotypic characters of M. azedarach. Meanwhile, the path analysis results show the direct and indirect effects of phenotypic characters with phenotypic character gradient values, which prove that the propagative organs, are steadily changing. __________ Translated from Scientia Silvae Sinicae, 2006, 42(5): 29–34 [译自: 林业科学]
